China's army will fight Dakar again! Why can Beijing cross-country undertake this important task?

June 5438+10, 2022 Dakar Rally started again. As the only China automobile brand, Beijing Cross-country will represent the strength of China, and go to Dakar for the second time in purgatory. In last year's competition, the Beijing off-road vehicle team won the championship and the third place in the first battle of the new team with its hard-core strength, and lit up the "China Red" on the podium. Dakar Ershua will definitely hit a higher ranking and win glory for China at the global cross-country summit.

It is reported that Dakar Rally will continue to be held in Saudi Arabia. According to the latest rally route, the starting point will be in Wheeler, the northern city of Saudi Arabia, and then it will cross clockwise to the south and then southwest, and the end point will be Jeddah, the largest port city in Saudi Arabia, with a total length of 8,375 kilometers, including 4,258 kilometers of special stages, which undoubtedly tests the mind and endurance of every driver. This challenge is also the infinite charm of this event.

The game of the brave, the "only" China automobile brand opens the "purgatory" mode.

Endless deserts, rugged and steep rocks and even muddy swamps are the most common scenery in Dakar Rally. The high temperature during the day and the cold at night make this event more challenging. This is the most challenging "purgatory" cross-country race in the world, and it is the most sacred top racing sport in the cross-country world.

In addition to the complicated and severe terrain and changeable weather, each driver will also face a long schedule and strict regulations of the organizers. During the race, he can't refuel, especially in the marathon stage, which tests his endurance. There are no stops, no supplies and no logistics. He only relies on a small amount of water and sandwiches stipulated by the organizers every day to satisfy his hunger, which also explains the extremely low completion rate of the Dakar Rally. Because this is the ultimate test of driving skills, endurance, courage and comprehensiveness, the ultimate test of man and nature, and the game of the truly brave.

In the upcoming Dakar Rally, the schedule has increased from 7,646 kilometers last year to 8,375 kilometers this year, and the difficulty coefficient has been upgraded again. At the same time, unlike the independent events in previous years, this year's Dakar will be the opening match of the new FIA cross-country World Cup, which shows that this event has the highest status in the cross-country world. In the history of Dakar Rally, cross-country people in China are writing their own glorious moments. As the only team of China automobile brand, after the first expedition to Dakar in 2002 1 and1,the "China National Team" Beijing cross-country team went out again this time, facing the "purgatory" in Dakar and continuing to write the cross-country legend of China.

Brush Dakar La, Beijing cross-country is ambitious.

Why Beijing Cross Country can become the only China automobile brand participating in the competition is a reflection of self-confidence and courage, and of course it is also a comprehensive performance of professional technology and hard power.

Beijing Off-Road has the most professional off-road technology research and development capability and profound historical background in China, which is the source of its confidence. You know, the history of off-road research in Beijing can be traced back to more than 60 years ago: from the appearance of the first Beijing 2 12 off-road vehicle in 1965 to the huge off-road army including BJ40 series today; Nearly a thousand people's off-road vehicle R&D team and the only professional off-road vehicle production base in China are the technical and quality assurance of Beijing Off-road Vehicle.

Last year, when three off-road rally cars modified from BJ40 roared past the desert Gobi, the whole world saw the powerful performance of China off-road vehicles and the superb driving skills of off-road drivers. After the precipitation of last year's events, Beijing has accumulated sufficient experience in cross-country, and the combination of Zhang Guoyu, Pan Hongyu, ace driver and navigator undoubtedly makes Beijing more confident in cross-country. Their battle-hardened and persistent love will guarantee the Dakar Rally to achieve good results.

Of course, don't forget their good partner, BJ40, which is fully upgraded for Dakar Rally. It embodies the painstaking efforts and technical iterations of countless people and is integrated into the core of Beijing's cross-country breakthrough and self-challenge.

Why does Beijing Cross-country shoulder the heavy responsibility of representing China's strength?

In the face of the difficulties of the Dakar rally, countless car companies were frustrated. Why can Beijing cross-country become the backbone of China?

Looking back on the performance of Beijing off-road vehicle team in recent years, it can be summarized in one sentence from its first participation in the ring tower rally on 20 16 to its debut in 20021Dakar rally.

20 16 Beijing cross-country participated in the ring tower rally for the first time and won the runner-up in the manufacturer group; From 20 17 to 20 19, three consecutive championships. Among them, 20 17 season won the championship and runner-up; Champion of manufacturer group in 20 18 season and champion of national four-wheel drive group; In the 20 19 season, he won the "Golden Helmet" in all eight stages, the third place in the championship, the national four-wheel drive group and the second place in the Club Cup four-wheel drive group, and won a total of 16 trophies.

Won the runner-up and four-wheel drive champion of the Silk Road in 20 17 season; In the 20 19 season, all three domestic stage champions won, the national four-wheel drive champion and the club cup champion.

Asian Baja Rally won the championship and runner-up in the four-wheel drive group in 20 18 season; In the 20 19 season, he won the championship, the runner-up in the four-wheel drive group, the team champion and the flying king twice. In the same year, he won the championship of CCR national four-wheel drive team, driver champion and pilot champion.

In addition to winning various honors in various rally races, Beijing Cross Country also escorts national-level tasks. Following the strategic cooperation between 20 19 and the "lunar exploration" project, in 2020, Beijing cross-country became attached to the "fire exploration" project, and participated in the overall mission of the Chang 'e V expedition, which enabled Beijing cross-country brands to fully connect with China Aerospace. In 2020 of the same year, Beijing Off-road once again became a participant and witness of history, and became a natural resource survey vehicle for Everest elevation measurement, surpassing the top of the world and completing the "great challenge". Being able to recognize so many glory auras is Beijing's belief and persistence in cross-country career.

The 202 1 BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition, which inherits the essence of the Ring Tower and the Dakar Games, was called "the strongest off-road vehicle in China" by the industry just after leaving the factory, with a global limited edition of 202 1, which sold out in only 98 days. For this off-road vehicle, many netizens called for the cancellation of the restrictions to meet their own car purchase needs.

It can be said that every bright moment of Beijing cross-country proves that the cross-country circle recognizes Beijing's cross-country strength; To put it more bluntly, Beijing off-road is the leader of domestic off-road brands.

Conclusion:

From the professional Dakar Rally to the daily cross-country life, Beijing's cross-country ability is easy and competent, thanks to its concept of being born for cross-country and excellent products, which makes people have more enthusiasm and protection for cross-country life. Suddenly I remembered another sentence from thierry sabine: "I can take you to knock on the door of adventure, but it is you who opens this door to challenge your fate." And BJ40 is your key to open this door, which is also the value of Beijing cross-country.
